Take a look around this city and they back the incumbents. AFL-CIO, too, are a part of the problem. Do they not YET see that the Mayor is anti-union, and this rubber stamp council will back ANYTHING he proposes. They have just shot themselves in the foot.

With all the waste corruption, incompetence at the highest levels of government there, I'd throw out all the bums and start over. Jackie Wright scamming $50 MILLION from the city, gun lawsuits you can't win because they are right, the highest cost per student in the nation and the lowest graduation rate. Yeah, things are just fine. The city council is really on their toes. You might want to run yourself, and see why the AFL/CIO wants them there still, after all that.

Council member Kwame Brown has shown commitment to workers’ issues throughout his political career. He created the vocational training school, Phelps Academy, to help DC residents get the training they need for future jobs. Also, in 2007 he authored legislation that helps ensure that DC Government jobs will be available for DC residents. While the Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO considers its endorsement of Council member Brown, it is important to acknowledge the Council member’s continued efforts for labor issues.
